Watch Mushrooms Grow in This Mesmerizing Timelapse

September 7, 2021

Mushrooms are fascinating, with thousands of unique species, many of them looking like they could come from an alien planet.

Watching them grow is even more fascinating, as seen in these 20 day time-lapse captures by Jens Heidler. Included in this time-lapse are Shiitake, Lion’s Mane, and King Oyster mushrooms. Mesmerizing, indeed. Via LaughingSquid:
